Your privacy is important to us.

mymoney247 understands and appreciates that you are concerned about your privacy, including the confidentiality and security of the information we may gain about you online. mymoney247 therefore takes pride in being proactive when it comes to safeguarding your privacy and any information you might provide in the course of your dealings with us.

mymoney247’s commitment to openness, transparency and your privacy

mymoney247’s commitment to openness, transparency and your privacy has been unwavering since its inception and is wholly aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles. Beyond their legal obligations, mymoney247 considers these principles to be good business practice.

This Privacy Policy sets out:

  • How you identify yourself to us and the kinds of information we may ask you to provide
  • The purposes for which we do so
  • The safeguards we have in place to keep this information secure
  • The steps you can take to correct or update information you have provided or if you feel we have not lived up to our end of the bargain

mymoney247 is also committed to providing you with a better online experience and more personalised services, and will endeavour to do so as technology evolves and new products become available. It will be necessary for our Privacy Policy to change from time to time to account for further developments of the mymoney247 Service and we will provide you with reasonable notice of any significant changes.

Please note that this Privacy Policy is specific to mymoney247 and the services it provides, and does not apply to any third party services or sites you may access via the mymoney247 Service. We encourage you to consult the privacy policy of any third party prior to using their services.

Detailed information on the Australian Privacy Principles can be accessed through the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website.

If you are a visitor to mymoney247, we do not collect personal or sensitive information from or about you from the unsecure areas of the mymoney247 website. If you are a visitor who does not log in to the mymoney247 Service with a username and password, you therefore remain anonymous.

To use the mymoney247 service we always require an email address and basic personal information including your first name, last name, date of birth and gender. We use this information to identify your account and configure the mymoney247 service for your use.

You can tell us as much or as little as you like about your situation and your account credentials. However, the more you tell us the more we can help you. If you choose not to provide some information you may be unable to use some of the features we offer.

Other personal information we collect from you will depend on what information you choose to disclose to us and how you use the mymoney247 Services. Other personal information that we may collect from you includes, credit card details, (for payment purposes only) and mobile phone number.

mymoney247 may also ask you for additional information about, for instance, your experience of the mymoney247 Service or your purchasing habits or offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions and giveaways. Any information submitted in relation to these activities will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, except as specifically set forth in the rules for those promotions and giveaways.

You consent to our use of your Account Credentials, as your authorised agent for the purpose of accessing your Account Information from third party financial institutions (e.g., banks, mortgage brokers, and superannuation funds) in order to provide you with the services you access through mymoney247.

You acknowledge that when we use your Account Credentials we can access your Account Information with third party financial institutions on your behalf and in doing so you may not be in compliance with the terms and conditions of your financial institution.

When mymoney247 collects your personal information it is held digitally on secure servers accessible by mymoney247 staff only and in accordance with our Customer Data and Privacy Policy.

Government related identifiers and unsolicited personal information

mymoney247 doesn’t ask for, use or disclose government related identifiers of an individual (e.g., your tax file number). Should mymoney247 come into possession of any such identifier, or personal and/or sensitive information about you not solicited according to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you in writing by email, and take steps to de-identify and destroy the information as soon as practicable. Generally, we will only obtain personal information directly from you. If we receive personal information about you from a source other than yourself, we will notify you of this fact, the purpose and the circumstances around receiving your personal information.

IP addresses and cookies and aggregate data

It is necessary for mymoney247 to collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address (i.e., the identifier for your computer when you are using the Internet) of Website users for their interaction with various parts of the mymoney247 Service. In the case that mymoney247 has recorded your IP address, such as when you log in, it is stored for security and audit purposes only. Your IP address will not be used by us or released to any third party except in relation to issues pertaining to security, inappropriate behaviour and/or fraud, which may include issues such as unauthorised access to your computer, our systems, or fraudulent transactions.

The mymoney247 Website uses “cookies” in order to provide you with the best online experience possible, assist with managing your Account, and to identify you on return visits. These cookies are small data files sent and stored in your web browser on your computer’s hard drive. mymoney247 may access these to understand more about your preferences in order to deliver a more relevant service. For instance, mymoney247 may learn from these what kind of offers you like and be able to limit the amount of times you see offers not relevant to you. If you wish to know when or if you receive cookies from the mymoney247 Website, you can manually set your browser to notify you of this or, in the case you do not wish to receive cookies, to reject cookies.

Although mymoney247’s systems do not collect any personal or sensitive information from or about Website visitors, they do collect metadata such as the date and time of each unique visit, any pages viewed, and any content downloaded. They also log the number of times Website visitors click on content featured on the Website. This information is collected only to further develop the mymoney247 Service and improve the facilities and/or services we are able to offer.

We may use third party service providers to help us analyse certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us measure the performance of our online campaigns or analyse visitor activity on mymoney247. We may permit these service providers to use cookies and other technologies to perform these services for mymoney247. We do not share any personal information about our customers with these third party service providers, and these service providers do not collect such information on our behalf. Our third party service providers are required to comply fully with this Privacy Policy.

mymoney247 takes all reasonable steps to allow you control over your data. You may cancel your Account at any time by accessing the delete account option available through the Website. Your Account will be disabled immediately and we will disconnect any connection with your Account Information we have established. mymoney247 reserves the right to use any aggregated and anonymous data derived from your utilisation of the service up to this point.

We may disclose your Account Credentials to Yodlee Inc (“Yodlee”), our account aggregation service provider, headquartered in California, United Sates. Yodlee is a leading financial services and technology provider. Yodlee maintains offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and India. The disclosure of this information to Yodlee is strictly governed by our privacy and security obligations to you, and is necessary as Yodlee provides the means by which you can link your financial data to your mymoney247 Account.

You consent to our disclosure of this information as your authorised agent for the purpose of allowing Yodlee to access your Account Information with third party financial institutions (e.g., banks, mortgage brokers, and superannuation funds) in order to allow us to provide you with the services you request. When Yodlee accesses your Account Information your identity is not directly ascertainable from the transaction data which is part of your Account information.

Access provided to a Financial Partner

A Financial Partner may access a mymoney247 user’s data if that user accepts a mymoney247 Financial Partner Access Invitation sent by them. Access can be revoked at any time by either the user or Financial Partner. Where a user has accepted an invitation, the Financial Partner has full access to the user’s data and the features available through the users Account (excluding Account Settings). The Financial Planner is subject to Terms of Access that govern use of a user’s data and they agree to use the data in accordance with this Policy.

How mymoney247 secures your information

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as entirely secure. We will use reasonable endeavours to keep information and materials in the mymoney247 Service secure and confidential. Once we have received your information, we take reasonable steps to preserve the electronic and physical security of this information in accordance with the mymoney247 Terms of Access and this Privacy Policy. Among other things, mymoney247:

  1. Regularly reviews and adopts new developments in electronic security and encryption technologies. The authenticity and security of the mymoney247 Website has received the security seal of world-leading Internet security firm McAfee, who conducts daily security checks and malware scanning of the mymoney247 Website.
  2. Ensures the physical security of any information you might share with us at a third party facility under the constant surveillance of security personnel. Our legally-binding agreements with this third party outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit them from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the service they have been engaged to provide. This Third Party is bound by our own stringent privacy and security obligations to you, and will be subject to discipline, termination and/or criminal prosecution should they not meet these obligations in their entirety.

Direct communications and disclosure of personal information

When you register to use the mymoney247 Service, you can configure whether you want mymoney247 to send direct communications to you, including direct marketing communications. You may opt out of receiving these if that is your wish. You can opt out by accessing the “Alert Settings” within your Account Settings. There are, however, certain forms of essential correspondence users cannot opt out of receiving, which include correspondence pertaining to confirmation of your registration with mymoney247, notifications of changes to this Privacy Policy, or anything else we are required or authorised to send to you in accordance with Australian law.

Accessing your personal information or making a complaint

In most cases you can access, correct or edit the personal information you choose to share with mymoney247 via your mymoney247 Account. You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see the details below). Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). We may charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you. We will not charge for simply making the request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information.

There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.

If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
